FAQ's

You have questions? We have answers!

​

HOW IS YOUR PROGRAM DIFFERENT?
Primarily the biggest difference is that we ARE NOT A DIET and you get a COACH TO GUIDE YOU! 

There are so many diets out there - so for starters, we are not a "diet."  We take a comprehensive, customizable approach to health and weight loss because no 2 people are alike!  That said, some people do better with no grains or dairy; some with higher fat; and some with more protein; or, some with less animal protein.  Even though we use the SCIENCE of low GLYCEMIC IMPACT EATING as a basis for our meal plans, we can customize to be sure that we match the latest in science and your lifestyle to create a program that works for you.  This is all about being sustainable. 

Here are some other things you will notice about us - we...

• Based in science, not fad

• Family-friendly (your whole family can eat this way)

• A lifestyle, not a diet, so it is sustainable;

• Customizable; we don't believe ONE SIZE FITS ALL

• Teaching you how to eat, not what to eat, so you can still go out to eat and shop at regular stores!

• Addressing more than weight - eating this way will lower inflammation, support healthy blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and more

• You'll have a COACH who is accessible, affordable, and there to answer all your questions!

WHY DO I NEED THE SUPPLEMENTS/ DO I NEED SUPPLEMENTS?

Because we want to give your body a fighting chance!  We have damaged our bodies through years of eating too much, too little or the wrong things. Review these questions. Do you...

• Eat 8-12 servings of organic veggies each day?

• Eat "enough" clean protein every day which is all antibiotic and steroid free?

• Drink half your body weight in only filtered water daily?

• Sleep at least 8 hours a night of restful sleep?

• Exercise 5-6 days per week including cardio and strength training and flexibility?

• Have you ever taken a prescription or OTC drug? Drank alcohol? Taken antibiotics?

• Do you experience stress?  Do you ever eat processed foods or foods with toxins in them?

• Drink out of plastic? Use a cell phone?

There are SO MANY things combatting us; supplements are just there to ASSIST OUR BODIES to optimal health.  A majority of people are deficient in basic vitamins and minerals; and, many others experience symptoms of common conditions. We believe in taking a natural approach to SUPPORTING your body so it can finally respond the way it was intended. And all that nutrition will not come from food sources alone.

WHAT IF I TAKE MEDICATIONS?

No problem!  Most of what we offer has no contraindications with any medication, but we are happy to discuss your personal situation with you and furnish you with labels if you need to take them to a pharmacist.    And we always have the ability to customize a package for you.  See below for a description of products included in the 3 bridal boot camp packages.

​

WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Results will vary depending on you, your healthy history, and your willingness to follow the program.  That said, it is common for people to lose an average of 3 pounds of FAT per week (based on previous client results).  The best news is that we help teach your body how to drop FAT not just WEIGHT.  To keep this in perspective, pound-for-pound, fat takes up WAY MORE SPACE and is 90% LESS METABOLICALLY ACTIVE than MUSCLE.  Our program aims to help you hold onto muscle and expedite fat-burning.

​

WHAT WILL I BE EATING?

Real food! Everything you eat is just some combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.  We focus on clean eating using the science of the GLYCEMIC INDEX  and the best percentages of these macronutrients to be sure the impact of the foods you eat help your body burn fat.  Because there is not one size that fits all, we know we need to adjust various aspects of your meal plan to suit your needs to get you optimal results.  Ultimately, our focus is on quality proteins, good fats, plentiful vegetables and fruits.

​

DO I HAVE TO 'GIVE UP'...?

You don't have to do anything you don't want to!  During our 15-minute consultation, we will get to know you and your goals.  When we start the group, we will teach you what is optimal to get you results and support you through the process.  You will not be dieting or starving yourself.  You will eat plenty of food! We will always be honest as to the impact a food will have on you so just communicate with us so we can help you within the parameters of what you are willing to do!  Nothing about how we tweak your food is too difficult for you to follow.

​

WHAT IF I AM VEGETARIAN?

We can help you too!  Tell us what type of vegetarian you are (ovo, lacto, pesce, etc.) and what you are currently eating so that we can make the necessary adjustments to help you achieve optimal body fat and weight.   The truth is that many vegetarians eat too many processed foods and carbohydrates without knowing how to properly combine foods to make complete proteins.  They also tend to struggle with vitamin deficiencies without proper guidance.  We can help!

DO I HAVE TO EXERCISE?

Exercise for anyone is a good idea.  That said, your results will be 85% from diet (what you eat).  Abs are made in the kitchen as they say.  That said, if you already exercise, we can suggest foods to eat before or after to optimize fat burning; and, we can guide you with making your workouts more efficient or effective.  IF you don't workout at all, simply walking or implementing our 7 or 10-minute workout will make a difference in your overall results but it's your choice!  No gym membership required.

​

WHAT TIMES ARE THE CLASSES OFFERED?

Class times change based on the needs of our clients/brides!  Typically, you will be able to pick from a day or evening time.  Remember, it is all through video chat so it is super convenient!  You can be in your PJs and still hop on the call!

​

WHAT IF I MISS A CLASS?

With permission of the group, we will record each class for a short time in case someone has to miss one.  Anonymity and creating a safe environment is of paramount importance, so this recording will only be available for a short time and access will be given only to members of that particular group.

HOW DOES THE VIDEO CONFERENCE WORK?

 We use ZOOM for video chat.  All you need is a computer with a camera or a phone to access the calls.   We prefer you use the computer or phone microphone (or headphones) to chat but you can also call in using a phone number.  You will be able to see yourself, the coach, and the other members of the group during our sessions! It will not cost anything to use the service from ZOOM. It is merely a link to click and access.
